Did you marry your great love?

[IsThisMeToo]

Why?

Why not?

How is your life now?

No, I refused to marry him. Repeatedly.

Yes - life is good 30 years later!

Yes. Life now is shite because he died in 2016.

Not looking for another and at 63 not likely, but I am corrugated with boredom at having no-one to talk to.

Yes, together 14 years. Now getting divorced. If it didn't work with him, it won't work with anyone.

Yes!!! We got married because I'm a sentimental fool, we knew that we wanted to be together for life either way and its only a piece of paper but I wanted our piece of paper.

Now, 13 years together, neither of us is perfect, never have been, never will be we but we are perfect together and very proud of our family and our little house! Life throws shit at us the same as everyone else but I feel strong, loved and happy.

No I married a very damaged nacissist.

I'm living with my great love, been together almost seven years. Hes asked me to marry him but we're in no rush. I dont really think it matters all things considered.

Why, Purple?!

Yep. I can't imagine my life without him really. There'd be a lot less laughter and inappropriate jokes for sure.

No. He didn't want to marry me.

Absolutely! And he still is the love of my life. (I put up with the children too 😉)

Yes, I did. I adore him, and he adores me.

I wouldn't have settled for anything less. I don't like many people that much that I would want to share my life with someone I wasn't hugely fussed on.

We're both quite boring people living an ordinary, happy, dull life, but between us, in private, is the sort of strong, passionate love they write about in terrible romance novels you just wouldn't think it to look at us. DH wears cardigans for Christ sake.

I'm very much a one man woman. I wouldn't have time or inclination for another relationship if something happened to this one.

Yes. Utterly and absolutely.

echt sorry for your loss.

My mum lost my Dad eight years ago at fifty four and hasn't met anybody else. I think she's ok now but misses somebody to share her home with.

I hope life is kind to you from now on, whatever road it takes you down.

No, I didn't marry my great love.

but we do live together and have 3 children

No he dumped me for someone else, he dumped her a few years later with 3 small children, so I guess my escape was lucky

echt I am really sorry for your loss.

Oh, and our life is still lovely.
Both retired, kids have kids, lots of DG's.
Sorry, that sounds a bit smug

No. Not sure I've ever met them. Sadly it won't happen now.

No.

But I am with him now .

Yeah, I did.

Because I loved him and because we had DC.

We fell out over something tonight, so this is a nice reminder of why we're together. Thanks

Yes I did 3 weeks ago which I know probably doesn't allow me to qualify to answer the question but I do believe it.
Have been married before for 18 years and for 15ish of those we were very happy and I never doubted we would be together forever, but he was never "the one".

My DW though is my soulmate and balances me perfectly. We were friends for many years before something changed that made us fall in love so we knew the good the bad and the ugly beforehand.
We have been together 4 years and I look forward to everything we will do together forever.

No. Because I thought the grass was greener.

It wasn’t.

Yep, sure did. I love my freedom too much to settle for a lacklustre marriage.

Knowing what I wanted and being fussy has served me well.

I've actually never heard the phrase 'great love' I'm guessing it's as in true love, soulmate sort of thing?
